The refunds are being processed through the Customs and Border Protection \u201cCAPE\u201d portal, covering claims from approximately 300,000 companies, with some refunds still under review or backlog due too missing banking details. This action followed the Court\u2019s ruling that Trump did not use a proper legal mechanism (the International Emergency Economic Powers Act) to impose the tariffs, leading him to invoke other laws afterwards. Despite the refunds, the administration had to return tariffs collected illegally, resulting in a total of around $165 billion being paid back.Major corporations like Amazon and Apple have received significant refunds,with Amazon getting $600 million and Apple $2.2 billion. Trump expressed dissatisfaction with the Supreme Court&#8217;s decision, asserting the tariffs generated hundreds of billions in revenue and that choice legal methods allowed for continued tariff actions.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<article class=\"fn-body\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/trump-administration\/\">Trump administration <\/a>has returned $100 billion from revenue it gleaned from tariffs the <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/section\/news\/supreme-court\/\">Supreme Court<\/a> tossed out in February, months after the high court ruled the tariffs lacked a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/longtime-thomas-friend-hits-back-at-democratic-probe-into-financial-records\/\" title=\"Thomas&#039; friend defends against Democratic investigation of finances.\">proper legal basis<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The funds were sent to the <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/treasury-department\/\" data-type=\"post_tag\" data-id=\"3544\">Treasury Department<\/a> for disbursement, according to a<a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/storage.courtlistener.com\/recap\/gov.uscourts.cit.19175\/gov.uscourts.cit.19175.24.0.pdf\"> court filing<\/a> this week in the U.S. Court \u200cof International Trade, marking a refund of over half of the revenue collected in tariffs that the Supreme Court struck down earlier this year.
